Changes for version 0.2 - 2011-04-08
- Much better support for fetching very large sequences from BLAST databases, or portions thereof. get_sequence() method on a Bio::BLAST::Database returns a new lazy-loading sequence object. subseq() fetch only the requested sequence region, and calls which require the full sequence (e.g. seq() and length() ) are handled by an encapsulated Bio::Seq::LargePrimarySeq object. All of this drastically improves speed and reduces memory usage when using very large sequences.
